A ranking staffer for Gov. George F. Allen resigned Wednesday, two days after he was charged with sodomy related to an alleged homosexual encounter in a Richmond park.
Executive Mansion Director Craig Westburg Henson, 36, was arrested during a routine patrol in Bryant Park, according to Lt. H.W. Nichols of the Richmond Police Vice Squad.
Henson was released on a $2,500 bond pending an Oct. 21 court appearance, court records show.
The other man, who also was charged with sodomy, has a previous arrest and conviction for solicitation of a lewd act in Bryant Park, records show.
Allen appointed Henson to manage a seven-member staff for coordinating social events at the mansion. Henson submitted a resignation letter Wednesday afternoon, according to Allen spokesman Ken Stroupe.
